WARNING: Contains some objectionable language
I was talking to one of my good friends today having some coffee and a couple of good points were made. 1) I can be semi-embarassing whilst ordering coffee (how could I have known that Spenda came in packets), and that 2) I’ve been acting like “a little bitch” over the last couple of months.
That last comment isn’t in reference to my fear of bees and needles, both of which paralyze me with fear, but it’s in reference to me being a defeated wuss when it comes to growing up and accepting the realities of life.
- Things haven’t gone quite according to plan over the last 9 months.
- Post-college life is a lot harder than college.
- Self-discovery sucks sometimes.
- Self-improvement is long and slow.
- Speeding ticket…ugh…speeding ticket.
The point that I’m trying to make out of all of this is that things aren’t going as planned and I’m not totally content with where I am at life. This would be forgivable, but what I was doing poorly was being “a little bitch” with life’s challenges. By calling me a [that phrase], my friend reminded me to suck it up and roll up my sleeves; if something sucks, work hard to fix it.
So with all of that, I wanna say “thanks MJ for helping me straighten out my head” and also to say “it’s not always a good idea to call people ‘douchebags’ to their face.” Now time to make the best of a situation and try to have some fun along the way. Below is a chart of how I used to spend most of my days; and a list of how I wanna change.
- Get Active - Dood…seriously, the most natural thing to do whilst wallowing in self-pity is to do absolutely nothing. Sometimes I’d check my Facebook/email/refrigerator/TV back to back and lose tonnes of hours.
- Read and Write - Man, I used to love doing this. Just gotta start reading and writing again. I’ve got a stack of books I haven’t read all the way through, and I’ve seriously neglected my bible over these last few months.
- Have fun - …I’m serious.
- Build Stuff - Hammock, shoe rack, duct tape wallet, space ray…
- Do Good - I think I used to teach bible studies a long, long time ago; gotta start that up again. And there’s a lotta people in the world that need help…gotta get a cape, or volunteer and find charitable organizations.
- Get healthy - My diet can be divided into two categories: 1) salty, fried foods, and 2) sweet, fried foods. I need me some greens and I need me some exercise.
- Be social - Being unhappy all the time makes me all loner-ey and weird…must stop being loner-ey and weird.
